First of all...here's a friendly slap along the side of the head for Curlita for getting the lyrics to You Can't Hurry Love stuck in my head for what will probably be the rest of the day! :P

1. Hee hee! Well, it backfired on me because now I've got it stuck in my head too.

2. And Neil Diamond. And I am embarrassed about neither.

2. I like Neil Diamond too. And I like Super Diamond, the Neil Diamond cover band.

3. I am now at work. Kinko's screwed up the newsletter order so now I can't mail it until tomorrow.

4. It's also cold and rainy out, not like yesterday.

5. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm very draggy. I need to go to the store to get some half-caf coffee (my once-a-week treat) and some bottled water. Cause I left my water at home.

6. Today I came in and found an e-mail forwarded from a volunteer. It was my former assistant (who I fired b/c she was worthless) saying she plans to come on our volunteer appreciation outing. Ummm, no, don't think so.

[Lilac]

I also had a terrible Labor experience, Tanagee. I was induced 3 weeks early because my bloodpressure had skyrocketed and was in labor for 36 straight hours! When they first started the drug, the pains were not too bad. I was thinking to myself "Hey...I CAN do this!" Down the hall, there was a poor woman screaming "OH MARY MOTHER OF GOD, PLEASE HELP ME...AARHHHHHHHHHHHH". I told my nurse to close my door (I didnt want to hear this WIMP crying out in pain when I JUST KNEW it wasnt so bad!) About 5 hours later, however, i was in the same position. Since I'm not a Catholic, I wasnt screaming "Oh Mary Mother of God"...I was screaming "PLEASE JUST GIVE ME A CEASEREEEEEEEEEAN"

Then came the epidural. It temporarily ended my pains, but for some unexplained reason...I continuously passed gas! Big suckers, too! It was so embarrassing! Everytime a nurse or doctor would feel to see how far I was dilating, I'd rip one off in his or her face! I was utterly humiliated by this. I apologized profusely.

After labor was ended and I was happily holding my newborn son, my then Hubby says to me "You pooped on the table." And people ASK why I divorced this man!!!!

[sarahkate]

1. Yikes! You guys are making me scared to have kids someday!! :unsure:

2. Too bad all of you N'ness people with kids don't live nearby. I would babysit for free! :)

3. I need to go to the grocery store tonight to buy some Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am going to use it to make "healthy" shakes & smoothies in my new blender. I found a recipe for a chocolate & peanut butter shake which is probably not so healthy but I bet it tastes pretty damn good.

[Lilac]

Oh, and here's one more little tidbit from my labor experience.

When I was in the middle of pushing...laying on the table buck naked, legs spread...my mother and sister come strolling into the room, as if nothing was happening...just strolling on in as if we're all going to sit around and have a cup of coffee.

I became possessed with what would appear to have been the same demon that possessed poor Regan in "The Exorcist." My head spun around and I screeched at them in a voice that was definately NOT my own, "THIS IS NOT A F*CKING PEEP SHOW!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!"

[siafu]

that is oK, lilac. person must do what person must do.

mrs. spousie made coffee.

i should buy a coffee maker. she's making it in a saucepan. that kinda sucks.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. macadamia nut and white chocolate cookies...................... *droooooooooool*

2. this (#1) is the good news about having had to break a $10 bill so that i could make change for bus fare

3. now, if only dad would bring me a timmy's coffee... (i could just make a cup, but this'd be more fun)....

[freckledcutie]

It's a random fact that I'm wondering if bc found out where there was

I'm also wondering if I wanna go there

If I did go there how would I ever find me way

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i just put coffee on for me n dad

2 bunnies! (toys r us commerical)

1. Yes! I hate thad giraffe, but the bunnies are a hoot.

2. I am eating a salad with swiss cheese and french vinaigrette dressing and drinking coffee. I'm trying to pretend I'm in Paris.

3. Where is Eve? Is she still in the states?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the bunnies, i've seen that commercial maybe 4 times now, and i grin every time

2 i can't decide what to post about in my 'earth month dailies' thread today (too many things to choose from)

3 i had a piece of paper yesterday that i want today, and i dunno where it is

[kittymao]

random Bunny facts-

Bunnies live 10 to 12 years. And they can be house trained.

Rabbits have to be fixed in the winter. In the summer they can become infested with maggots and die within days.

bunnies have weak spinal colums. Handle them in a way so they do not kick or squirm, as their thrashing can break their own backs.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am home much earlier than I thought I would be today, and now I don't have much to do.

2. I miss the Boy... he didn't go to his Stats class, so my feeble attempts at stalking him were not effective. I think he may be at the dentist.

3. Tomorrow I expect to be at school for twelve hours. Maybe I will see the Boy at lunch...

4. I will be at school for 14 hours on Thursday; the Boy has promised me a back massage when I get home, and I plan to make sure I get it. That promise may be the only thing that convinces me I have a reason to live after the first four hours or so of presentations. I need to convince him to come pick me up from school.

[Curlita]

1. When I was in 5th grade my sister and I got bunnies for Easter. I had a boy rabbit named Ebony and Michelle had a beige one named Charlotte. Ebony lived to be 15 or something.

2. When they were mature we put them together and they got it on. They had 8 babies and they were so cute. We gave them away.

3. Every once in a while we recite the names we gave all of them: Runt, Panda Bunny, Patches, Marshmallow Foot, Honey Bunny, Caramel, Chocolate and Ashes.

Bouns 4: I would love to have a rabbit again, but my husband is not very interested. He and his first wife had a huge python and they used to feed it a rabbit every month, so I think he has a different experience with rabbits than I do.

I found THERE and it was wonderful...

It is in my pockets, my drawers, my heart and my memory...

You can definitely find your way to THERE, it's finding the way back that's hard.

[thunderstorm_19]

my sister got a bunny when she was 6 (and a half).

my parents expected it to live about 6 years, more or less.

it lived until a few months ago (remember my byebye bunny post?) and my sister is now 19.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 curlita - what kind of python was it?

2 i'm insanely fond of snakes

3 don't twist that statement to be dirty, it isn't ;)

1 curlita - what kind of python was it?

1. I'm not entirely shure. Burmese rings a bell, but that can't be right, can it? I never actually "met" the python because the ex-wife got custody. My husband got the dogs. I asked him once if he missed Uther (the snake) and he looked at me funny and said, "Well, not really. I mean, he was a *snake.*"

2. He had some good stories about the snake getting lost in a closet for a year, etc. And they used to keep it in the room that is now our guest room, so if folks came to stay, they got to sleep in the room with the snake. My M-I-L was not happy about this situation.

3. I don't mind snakes, but am not sorry that the Ex got custody. I think Uther was like 11 feet long or something. That's a whole lotta snake.

[thunderstorm_19]

yes, burmese *could* be right... there is such a thing.

1. http://www.whozoo.org/students/stamoo/pythonhtml.html

2. http://www.rainforestsearch.com/rrrs/snakes.htm

3. http://www.pitt.edu/~mcs2/herp/python.html

that's a beautiful snake.

[OHPossum]

1. now I see where Curlita's snake Q came from

2. I feel lke a Curlita stalker.

3. I want to go home and put flannel sheets back on teh bed and take a very very long nap.

[nymphette]

1: another sleepless night.. s'okay because it took the freaking ER till 330 am to get the ammonia results back to us..... (blood was drawn at 1030)... they 'lost' the papers... and they told me 'the ammonia was normal, dont' worry'.... so i told them 'i'm not worried, but i need a number for his dietician and for his file....' so they had to get ahold of the lab and get them to fax it again........ always a runaround, without exception ALWAYS.

2: after harrison has his transplant, we can go to any lab in the city to get his bloodwork done... we have to use the general hospital for the ammonia as they are the only facility in the city with the equipment to do the ammonia testing... we dont' have to have his ammonia levels done once he's tranplanted, but tehre is otehr frequent bloodwork... that's fine, we can go to any MDS lab and get it done, and find a place where they are competent, instead of muddling along with the useless staff at the general hospital!!!!!!! like we have been doing for over a year... with no improvement.... <_<

3: the worker from the ECIP program (early childhood intervention program) came today to meet with harrison for the first time... he took to her nicely, i think becuse she may have been a new person, but she was in HIS environment, instead of a place where he associates new people with pain (the hospital)... she's nice, i liked her.... she is pregnant and we'll be getting new worker in july.... :(

4: it's a conspiracy against me, sending a pregnant woman to invade my hide-from-having-to-see-pregnnt-women-and-get-sad sanctuary....... <sigh> oh well.. waht can we do.....

I saw this happen once when I worked in a vet's office. It was really sad.

Hollis is cracking me up today in the forums

I am so glad Helquin came back!

:wave: Hi cb, nice to have you spinning around here again!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my sister's bunny was kept indoors (we always felt sorry for him really, poor thing)...

2 as far as i can recall, he only ever went to the vet on the day he went byebye

3 i have washed and cut the veggies and cut the meat for the stir fry

(bonus, i came down to get the sauce, but here i am... sidetracked)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my sister's going to come home to have dinner w/ us, and my parents don't know this, we're surprising them

2 i have to cut more veggies!

3 plus, eating time is delayed for 15 minutes to give her enuf time to get here

[cheshire-cat]

1. Argh. I have to make a phonecall that I really don't feel like making and I have to make an appointment that I really don't want to go to.

2. We're having scalloped potatoes for supper. Mmmm...I love potatoes. :)

3. All I got today in the mail was a sears catalogue and some flyers. Grrr...yesterday was a good mail day though. :D

When a good friend of mine had her baby she was lying on the bed/table nursing the baby, not really paying attention while the Dr was closing up the episiotomy, her legs up in sirrups, and everyone else was out of the room. She looks up and there, staring at her crotch is her x-husbands father. She barely knew the man because the husband had been raised by his step-father. She was stunned, luckily her mom (who is a 4' 11" Samoan woman) walked in and was like "Hey get the hell out of here!"

The second night I was in the hospital after Megan was born my SIL shows up at like 9pm with her foreign exchange student boarder in tow. I am tryng to nurse Megan and was having a really hard time and there is this Japanese girl I don't even know staring at me!! I was sweaty, exhausted, in a lot of pain and trying to be a 'good hostess' because my SIL had driven an hour to come see us, but I so wanted to tell them all to leave.

Even after all of the trauma, I still want another baby.

[OHPossum]

I am so sad for nymphette and all that she has to deal with.

I am embarrassed to be making people laugh instead of supporting Nymphette

Now that I know I am allowed to get pg, all these scary pgnancy posts are freaking me out.

[Curlita]

1. Hugs to Robyn. If it helps at all, I'm really amazed at your strength and patience and think you are a very courageous woman!

2. OhPossum - do what I do, adopt denial. "That will NEVER happen to me!" You can also create a list of people who are and are not allowed in the room while you're delivering, etc. I don't think it has to be an open house.

3. My sister is in charge of making sure everyone sticks to my birth plan, and she's a sight to behold when she puts on her big girl shoes (her term for standing up to people). Anyone who wants a birthing center bouncer can request her presence. She rocks.

[hammerquill]

The last week and a half have been the best of my life.

So far.

Now I get to return to living too much of my life online. With the part of my mind I can drag away from dwelling in memory, that is.

[siafu]

that was a poem, reed.

thank you.

i'm moved by your poem.

[OHPossum]

i went and picked up the pizza hut

i had a coupon so it was really cheap. the bastards were late so I got it free

but i didn't get the coupon back! :(

[tanagee]

I didn't mean to scare anyone.

I am wistfully looking at old pictures of Megan and feeling verklempt.
http://img38.photobucket.com/albums/v117/tanagee/sweet.jpg

I should be packing.

[OHPossum]

i'm not really scared

I just like the attention

But I get points for self awareness.

[Lilac]

I just wanted to pop in here before I went to bed to give Gwensmom a big hug! You're an incredibly strong woman! I think you deserve to be Nervousness' Queen for a Day tomorrow! Anyone else agree? :hug:

[siafu]

of course. just put nymphette on the rotation too.

:)

[Lilac]

yes, Nymphette, too. Both deserve to be Queens!

[medeous]

i just got another "look at the baby we just popped out!" email from a (somewhat) friend.

this is the second baby in 9 days (different families - not weird twins).

an 11 year old is hard to carry on my hip.

1: dont be sad possum.... i'm not sad about it all, it just stresses me out... when i see his smiling face, it's all worth it... the tests, the incompetent staff, the hassles, the stress... everything!!!!! :D

2: no... you need to be happy because it makes ME LAUGH... so that is support!!! i need laughter, there's so little of it here lately, with all the fighting going on.........

3: ohhhh.. being pregnant is the best thing in the whole world!!! all the bad that can/does come with it is worth it for being the supreme being for nine months of your life.. you are the star and centre of attention and everyone is helpful and you hve people at your beck and call, whether you want 'em or not!!! milk it for all it's worth though ladies... once that l'il bundle o' joy is out, you are INVISIBLE!!!! ;)

2: except for bitch of the week... several times...

3: and i've always won.... ;)

[tanagee]

Jenn (jmhcreativesolutions) should be in the rotation too!!

I STILL haven't packed, and I have to pack for all three of us.

My hubby STILL hasn't noticed that I cut my hair, either that or he just hasn't said anything. I vote for the former.

[Dalmaney]

1. There are some amazing women around here.

2. Keep on keeping on...

3. Good job, you.

[siafu]

you! are doing a good job, engineergrrl.

i just made supper for heidi: turkey burgers, carrots with herbs and butter, and a baked potato.

i hope she likes it.

[bluecrayon]

hi, everyone.

I am not quite honest when I say I am happy to be back, because I wish I was still THERE...

but here is a nice place to be when one is blue and a crayon looping all around...

love just never seems to fit in any of my pockets...


and I think gwensmom and nymphette are beyond queens -- how about goddesses!

[littlest-bee]

. I live in Bristol now.

.. It's so pretty here. Last night I went for a walk and watched the sun setting.

... I feel very lucky.

[OHPossum]

it's morning and I am officially addicted to these damn games

my new puppy is growing so fast I can't even believe it

mt toes are freezing and the puppy is too hyper to sit still and warm them up

[Dalmaney]

1. The Boy is great for warming my cold feet. He's almost always much warmer than me.

2. I read a (engineer) humour piece about why women are always colder than men; it said that most men are bigger, and heat production is a function of volume, whereas heat dissipation is a function of surface area. It's probably bunk, but I liked it.

3. If you liked it, you're as big of a geek as me.

1. Yay! L-b is back! How did all of the moving go Rosie?

2. I think gwensmom and nymphette are goddess queens too! They rock! :wub:

3. I created my 2nd main site LMAO yesterday. I was worried no one would want to play but it's all full now! Yay! And everyone who signed up seems to be very good eggs so that makes me happy.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. ok SOMEONE (i don't give a hoot if it comes from the landlord or the 'new' tenant who moved in after i left) owes me a refund for last month (which is this month now - well, april)' rent.

2. i made beef stir fry yesterday, and i'll be doing lamb curry today

3. i went to timmy's last night with my sis and my neighbour daniel, and got 6 bagels for breakfasts (not of course, all for one breakfast), and they only had ONE "everything" bagel (my favourite), and my mother already ate half of it! awhhh... but i got the other half, so it's ok.
(if they'd had 6 of that kind, i'd have gotten 6 of them!) :)

[bluecrayon]

I am thinking of Eve right now and wondering how she feels to have had to return home after such a lovely visit ...

I think I know a little how she feels...

It is hard to get going back into my life because I miss IT and I miss HIM and I feel jangly...

1. Yuck. Hoping this is not something that Robyn knows from personal experience.

2. I like being in the middle of the nervousness love-fest.

2. I read a (engineer) humour piece about why women are always colder than men; it said that most men are bigger, and heat production is a function of volume, whereas heat dissipation is a function of surface area. It's probably bunk, but I liked it.

3. Hmmm. I'm six feet tall and I used to run average. Now that I'm pregnant (and have higher volume) I'm always cold. Unless it is the middle of the night, and then I wke up with soaking-wet night sweats. But maybe I'm not a good control, cuz who knows that wacky things my metabolism is doing,

[gwensmom]

Haha Curlita for some reason I thought you were short! :wacko:

Muhahahahahaha. Looks like Hollis has been sucked into the nervous forum vortex(as Curlita so aptly calls it).

Let me mention Curlita again so this will be an all-Curlita post.

[sarahkate]

1. Yay for Hollis being sucked into the chain games! Her posts are fun! :)

2. I owe siafu many thanks for her advice she gave me the other day about polymer clay! I was having trouble getting the clay out of the face molds, and she suggested leaving them in the freezer for much longer than I originally did and it worked! I now have 7 very creepy old man faces. I didn't want the faces to look like old men, but they do so I think I'm going to have to buy some different molds.

3. I have a severe problem with squeezing many more than 3 random facts into my 3RF posts. I'm a rebel, what can I say?

[nymphette]

1: SK- i always try to be sneaky about my (more than) TRF's and crammin more than one into each... therefore ending up with 8 or so... because i like to cheat....

2: though i dont' think it's called cheating... more like a corollary (SP?) to each fact... i cnat' stick to just one per number you know... my life is one freak tangent, why should my posts be any different???

3: it is time for julian's 'school'... i started yesterday, having a half an hour of him sitting in his desk and learning... more structured than just sitting with mom and playing with crayons or pencils... he worked on his abc's and his name... i am keeping track of his work by date so i can see how well he is improving... after all, he may be staying at home for homeschooling anyhow, so why not pre-school home learning????

that was still TRF's... thirteen random facts, but it starts with a 't' too, so.......

[medeous]

i was devestated by an 80% budget cut yesterday.

i wrote a persnickety letter about it.

i received a call today telling me that it wasn't my budget for next year, it was additional money for this year. yay for me!

[sarahkate]

1. Good, Nymphette is now my partner in posting more than 3 random facts crime. ;) Hehee

2. Dammit. Everytime I go to the bathroom here at work there is someone in one of the other stalls, and you can tell they are in the middle of doing their poopies when I come in so then they sit there and hold it which puts the pressure on for me to pee as fast as I can and get out of there, but then I freeze up and I can't go so then I just have to leave the stall, wash my hands and leave without going pee. Agh. That has happened to me twice in the past two days.

3. I made a chocolate shake with Carnation Instant Breakfast last night. It was good. I can't wait to go home so I can have another one

[Lilac]

I'm sick and want my Mommy!!!!

I've been throwing up all night and all morning.

Maybe I'll lose some weight?

:ill:

[Lilac]

Okay...well I'm going to the doctor. Since it's been just a little over a year that I've had my kidney transplant, he INSISTED that I come in. Damn.

I also got a good tongue lashing from him when I called. He told me that I am the exact opposite of a hypocondriac. That I'm not as tough as I think.

I think I am pretty tough...except for this flu thing. Throwing up turns me into a baby.

Yup, me and bluecrayon are the Amazons of n-ness.

I like being the subject of other people's posts. Does that make me narcissistic?

I hope Lilac is feeling better! Flu season is supposed to be over, but I guess the flu does not know that.

Bonus: I'm eating Jarlsberg cheese! I think I've technically had more than one serving but it is soooooo good. And better for me than chocolate, right?

[cheshire-cat]

-Aww, I hope Lilac starts feeling better soon. Throwing up is no fun at all.

-I'm going to try to make carrot muffins this afternoon. I have so many carrots that I don't know what to do...

-The phone is ringing but I'm not going to answer it. Sshh! Noone is home. :lol:

[sarahkate]

1. Yes, feel better Lilac!! Get lots of rest!

-I'm going to try to make carrot muffins this afternoon. I have so many carrots that I don't know what to do...

2. I have a ton of carrots too. I bought a big bag of them thinking I would be all healthy and munch on them or steam them for dinner but they are still sitting in the unopened bag. I need some veggie dip. Yum.

3. I just ate the biggest banana I have ever seen. I am so immature, really I must be, because eating such a huge banana made me giggle. Even saying the words "huge banana" makes me snicker.

[gwensmom]

OMG poor Lilac :'( I'm so sorry you are :ill: . You had better listen to your doctor young lady!

I wonder what Lilac's son did when his mom threw up in the Dairy Queen parking lot.

If my life were half as eventful as Lilac's I would die of exhaustion.

[sarahkate]

1. Check out this bike (http://www.schwinnstingray.com/bike-view.html)! Crazy!! I think I need one of those.

2. I used to have a mountain bike but someone stole it out of our shed about 2 years ago when we weren't home because my boyfriend had left the doors wide open. :(

3. This week I had Altoids tangerine sours for the first time. They are pretty good but they make my stomach feel all acidy.

[chunkymonkey]

1. Was having a grumpy morning... but not anymore. :rofl:

2. yes I just woke up.

3. I think I will rearrange all the furniture in the house.

[nymphette]

1: i redid my poster for harrison's steak night.... it had too much information about the event and not enough about harrison.... like, as a draw- this is what you are helping, this is the baby who's sick, and what's wrong with him and what the money will do' instead of 'hey, steak, potatoes, caesar salad and garlic bread... oh, becuase harrison needs new liver'...... i like the new one better....

2: my sister and i are going to pretty them up tonight... i will scan one when they are done so all y'all can see it...

3: i hve to buy new clothes for harrison... again.... i bought him three new outfits before we went to toronto, size 18 months... (he's 14 1/2 months!!!) and he's already outgrown them!!!!!!!! size two??? well, i dont' think we have to worry about whether he is growing in length how he is supposed to be.... i think he's getting taller every dy.... i hope.... :o

[kittymao]

free hot dog social today! Yaay! Money for mail and stuff! hee.

Uhm. I'm glad I'm gonna graduate. This school is frustrating me to no end.

I think oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorites. Well, besides that Chewy gingersnap cookie, and the White Chocolate-macadamia nut kind.

1. I screwed up a major name tag order! Argh! And I was supposed to present them at the awards night tomorrow. I'm afraid to ask what it will cost to reprint them. Kicking myself.

2. At least I have new, comfortable bras. It's easier to think when you bra is not too tight.

3. I'm going to get some decaf and a chocolate dipped biscotti to take the sting out of the name tag mishap.

[Lilac]

Well...I'm home. I'm not throwing up anymore..but I have the body aches, chills and fever. I guess I'll live.

Thanks everyone for being concerned. :hug:

I'm going to try to bumble around here on the chain games and see if I can forget about feeling like crap.

[nymphette]

1: i made granola bars today...

2: they arent' as yummy as the last batch....

3: it' s because of the honey.... i used goldenrod honey last time and all i have today is plain old boring clover honey.... :( yes, i am sad that i only have one kind of honey and that makes my life look even more pitiful than it really is... though not much... <_<

[sarahkate]

1. Nymphette is a honey connoisseur. ;)

2. I had to go to dictionary.com to figure out the correct spelling of connoisseur. :lol: I usually don't have too much trouble spelling words, but that's a tough one.

3. I have always been a pretty good speller, so I always cringe when I have to spell address because that is the word I spelled wrong near the very end of the 5th grade spelling bee. :(

[OHPossum]

i am so lazy when it comes to taking pix and uploading them

Try Walagata, Possum. It's free and easy. www.walagata.com

I'm almost done with my coffee and I really need to get to work! I have a big 'ol arts & crafts project that needs to be done tomorrow night.

I had a brownie with my coffee. I have no regrets.

[siafu]

you are definitely not sucky.

i totally want a puppy.

heidi didn't decide she liked the ittybitty dog next door until AFTER her sister was sold.

try photobucket. people here like it. yahoo photos was a snap too. you just click on more yahoo and make the album public once you make it.

[OHPossum]

gwensmom rules
she showed me photobucket
i swear i leanred about photovillages from here a while back

[siafu]

i think i should be obsessed with livejournal for a while.

i just posted an AC and free boxes on craigslist. maybe that will help.

i am also going to sell or give away my whiteboard.

[OHPossum]

i just finished 2 projects ahead of schedule

one was an easy peasy bookmark

one was comic atc's. they were fun

[siafu]

i just got a call for an interview with an insurance company.

i'm stoked, but also kind of ummmmmmmmmm...it seems like going to work for the Other Side. is there an Other Side?

but the money would be so helpful.

[OHPossum]

a job is a job

you can infiltrate, learn secrets, and then bust em hard!

my dad sells insurance

[Curlita]

Theresa, you'll learn more at the interview and then you can decide if it would make you miserable or not.

The project is going slowly. I'll be spending a lot of time coloring and laminating tomorrow.

I'm tired, and thirsty for something sweet, like juice.

[OHPossum]

i'm in bed with both dogs and my laptop

i love my bed

i will get up when I hear kathryn come home and consider making dinner

[littlest-bee]

. I went to see a band tonight at a smokey little pub in Bath. The band were called World Government and they were described as "sex funk"!

.. I have a cheesecake recipe that I really want to make but it calls for a sachet of powdered gelatin and I can't find any.

... My life fits into 41 cardboard boxes, a red trunk and 4 bin liners.

[OHPossum]

i still can't get used to time zones and how it isn;t right before dinner for everyone playing here

i love my laptop

i am still too lazy to organize and share pix

[siafu]

that's true, curlita.

i could come help you color and laminate.

wouldn't that be clever.

[OHPossum]

2 of my faves live near each other now
that would be erica and theresa
i wonder if i am the same person online as i am IRL

[Lilac]

My son caught my stove a fire a little while ago. It's not bad enough that I'm sick...but I also had to get up, put a grease fire out and clean up that blasted foam from the fire extinguisher.

Ya know...a few pages ago, Gwensmom said that if she had my life, she'd be exhausted. I WAS going to write back and say "Geez, my life isnt all THAT hectic"....but after the fire...I don't know!

Maybe Gwensmom and I could change lives for a while?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 ok that does it. nymphette, you've gotta tell me how to make my own granola bars! (please...?)

2 i had ice cream for dessert. my first ice cream in 2 weeks (i avoided it while i had that cold).

3 i've seen a spider (i think it's the same one) run across the floor down here about 4 times today. and i dislike spiders especially indoors, but i don't have the heart to even attempt to kill it.

[OHPossum]

I love Law and Order more than any other TV show ever
I was excited to watch 3 in a row on TNT
My old friend from DC called right in the middle of hour one!

[Dalmaney]

1. I survived today and managed to enjoy bits of it.

2. The enjoyable bits involved the Boy.

3. Contemplating pros and cons of taking Boy home to see home in May.

[Bugitha]

1. I think it is a little unfair for my supervisor to insist I work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week when he is only willing to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

2. I spread the good word about nervousness at my bookbinding class last night.

3. I have forsaken regular bookmarks for those plastic post-its because the stay where they are put and the cats can't drag them out of my book and lose my place for me.

[rabidgirl]

1. i love love law and order too!
2. i once saw jerry orbach on the street in new york.. sadly i was on a bus.
3. this is my first time posting here :D

[bluecrayon]

I like Jerry Orbach, too. I saw him in Fantasticks when I was a kid...

I am lonely and spinning too far away from him...

summer is coming like creamy sweetness on the horizon...

You should never tell me not to read something! :lol:

1. I'm definitely not looking forward to the delivery.

2. The baby's nursery is going to be so cute! :wub:

3. I'm going to take a bath and then I'm going to bed. I shopped for baby furniture all day and now I'm exhausted! :P

[cheshire-cat]

1. Bluecrayon is very poetic and I love how her sentences flow...

2. I painted my first tiny mask tonight but I can't keep myself from touching up the paint on it. Grrrr!! I literally get up every fifteen minutes or so to work on it. I think it's time to put it in a drawer and let it dry (out of sight, out of mind).

3. I just went for a walk and it's really chilly out there! The sad thing is I had thought of putting on an extra sweater before I left but decided against it. D'oh!

[chunkymonkey]

2. I spread the good word about nervousness at my bookbinding class last night.

1. I think I tell just about everyone I meet about nerv.

2. my bum is sore from sitting in this chair.

3. I have to cancel my netflix membership cause I'm broke this month. :'( What will I do without all these dvds. ANd of course I am right in the middle of a season on csi. I think I'll be able to finish though, I've got a week left.

[Gingersmack]

1. Took the kidlets to the park this evening, then the library.
2. CSI rocks! (I watch both, although I prefer Vegas over Miami)
3. I don't have a Netflix account :(

[Cuilanië]

- I'm back in Paris. It's strange to come back.

- Jetlag is easier to deal with than when I go to Montréal. This is also strange.

- Returning to my everyday life has been harsher than I expected.

[Cuilanië]

- I found out less than half an hour after getting to my apartment that I no longer have a job. My contract was not extended as had been the agreement before I left. I have an apointment with my former boss Friday evening so she can explain to me just what the hell is going on. :angry: <_<

- The date for my first divorce hearing has been set. In MAY. I was expecting it to be in March, April at the latest... This means I will not be officially divorced until September, more likely October. :huh: :(

- On the bright side, I am proud to announce that I have a full-blown obsession with celtic knotwork. :D

1: alison- so easy and yummy you'll never buy 'em again.... (unless your husband will only eat those disgusting chocolate chip chewy chocolate covered things.... <_< )

2: for alison then: on medium heat, bring 1 cup honey (goldenrod is best. clover will do in pinch. <_< buy something yummier than clover though, even buckwhet!) and 1 cup brown sugar to a boil- boil for one minute and take off heat... add 1 tsp vanilla (real stuff is better, artificial works though) extract and mix (you can add 1/2 cup peanut butter at this point too, if you like that.. i dont'. :P)- let cool for ten minutes... in a bowl, combine 2 cups oatmeal (quick cooking kind) and another 2 1/2 cups of whatever- sunflower seeds, coconut, chopped almonds, soy nuts, raisins, craisins, chopped apricot, rice krispies, meusli, whatever!- and mix well... pour honey mixture over and stir well... press into a greased 9x9 pan and cool... cut into bars... mmmmmmmmmm

3: the ones i made today had 1/2 cup special K cereal, 1 cup craisins and 1 cup of honey roasted sunflower seeds in it...

4: traipsing to the kitchen for a snack now.... ;)

It's a crazy thing to know that I lived perfectly okay for years without him and now that he's in my consciousness, I feel jangled loneliness breaking the silence all around me...

I am on automatic pilot unaware of the colors shooting through the sidewalk...

You are welcome to join me (as is anyone else who would like to color and laminate today). Much coloring and cutting to do! I'm making a poster for the volunteer awards tonight to demonstrate what the volunteers do. I procrastinated and now I am panicking!

2. The baby's nursery is going to be so cute!

3. I'm going to take a bath and then I'm going to bed. I shopped for baby furniture all day and now I'm exhausted!

I've been looking at baby things online. My mum wants to buy nursery furniture for me. It makes me all gooey to look at little tiny baby clothes.

I had a third thing, and now I can't remember it. Hmph. I need to go to work and start cutting and pasting. And coloring and laminating. And panicking.

[OHPossum]

I love babies!

I love LOVE, even heartsick long distance love, no especially that kind, it's so intense and spiritual and the suddenly when you are in the same place it's physical like nobody's bizness! (except all of ours on Ness, of course)

I love Springtime!

[Lilac]

I'm feeling much better today! Yeay!!!! I must have just had some some of 24 hour bug, or something!!!!

I had a very disturbing dream last night..........

I've been working since 6 AM and I'm contemplating lunch....I think I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich with lots of pickles!

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i'm glad lilac's doing better!

2. these 'earth month dailies' take longer to write up than i expected.

3. even with a new one every day, i don't think i'll cover 'everything' i could given the information immediately available to me... (times like these i realise just how much i actually have to hand).

[Larrissa]

7688

[thunderstorm_19]

1. thanks nymphette

2. i need a shower

3. i'll be back in 45 minutes or so

[sarahkate]

1. I have been so busy this morning. One of my coworkers called in sick so I have to do all of her work. Agh. I am so used to having no work to do all day. Now they expect me to actually do work?! Not fair!! :P

2. It really bothers me when you send people a Q&A on the main site, and they don't seem to be answering so you go look at their page and see that they have answered a question AFTER yours but skipped yours. Grrr. And all I was doing was being nice and asking someone if they wanted some Fbs/Deco's. All they needed to say was YES or NO. :angry:

3. I have leftover macaroni and sauce for lunch today. I can't wait to eat it. I'm a macaroni freak. Seriously, I eat pasta for dinner at least 4 or 5 times per week.

[OHPossum]

i love noodles too.

my faves are the little tiny sells with butter s/p and parmesan, freshly grated of course.

i am ready for lunch, and I hope it's warm enough to eat at the food courts

Oh my god, that sounds SO GOOD.

I'm glad that Lilac is feeling better.

I've found I'm very suggestive to cravings based on food that other people mention.

[OHPossum]

AS an experiement, I would offer:
saurkraut
gorgonzola cheese
unsweetened baking chocolate

I love all of those things separately

I just chugged a cold latte and a maple brown sugar granold bar (nature valley, the best kind other than nymphette's homemade ones)

[kittymao]

stupid popups are driving me mad. Please help me and see the rant section!

I think it may be due to my pop.

I'm gonna take the train again today. Yaay!

[littlest-bee]

Today is my boyfriend's birthday, we went out for lunch at a yummy fish restaurant. I had gravalax (sp?) for the first time in my life and it was gooooooood.

I'm feeling well out of the Nervousness loop because I can only check the forums a odd times. I miss you all and your crazy 3RFs!

Today was a good mail day. I got two postcards and a pack of cartoon plasters for any future thumb injuries!

[OHPossum]

llittlest bee, I am a new convert to this scene. come back soon !

Sauerkraut does sound good, as does the gorgonzola. But not together.

I have a swiss, avvie and veggie sandwich to look forward to for lunch.

And cake tonight!

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I read the document that was presented to my insurance company as my independant medical review and some of the facts are so screwed up and some "facts" are just not true at all I find it hard to imagine that my claim was based on this information.... sure my medical condition is bad enough thats all true but my dad isn't 60, my brother isn't in college... my SISTER is. And the cousin that is bipolar is MATERNAL not PATERNAL!!! GEEZ!!!

Sometimes I share too much personal information.

My mother won tickets, train tickets, and hotel room for the ottawa vs. toroto hockey game this saturday so I'll be going to ottawa, but I won't be seeing the game.

My mom did buy the furniture for us. It was really expensive (3000$) and my mom insisted on getting the best kit. If Nicolas & I had to pay for it, we would have picked a 800$ kit :o My mom is crazy! But so sweet... I :wub: her!

1. No mail for me today! :(

2. I haven't had my period in over 5 months now. That feels great!

3. Why do I have to wash my hair so often? I wish I could wash it once a week only... I have long hair and it takes a long time to dry... I'm lazy!

2. I didn't know that my breasts could get so big... I used to be a B and now I'm a D! I hope I'm not an E by the end of my pregnancy... :o

3. I should stop being lazy, get off the computer and wash my hair!

Tell me about it, sister! I'm only a C (up from a B ), but I've had to buy all new bras. This can stop anytime now.

Now Possum has me craving a reuben sandwich for lunch. The sauerkraut suggestion has taken firm hold!!

[OHPossum]

My boobs are invisible and I like it that way

Maybe I will be the first person to get preggers and see no size increase

that would make me happy and K sad!

[JennStar]

1. i'm lefthanded
2. i am a only child :D
3. i am addicted to this site O_O

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I am mildy hungry.

It is 3:00pm on a thursday afternoon and I have the luxury of being home at my computer.

I've had a cup of coffee today.

[OHPossum]

kathryn surprised me at work!!!

She has NEVER had a real lunch break

the bummer was that I had laready taken my break

[Lilac]

OHpossum gave me some great April fool's day pranks to play on my son! Thanks!!!!!

I was thinking about doing this (below)...tell me if you think it is too sadistic. :lol:

I bought one of those travel cup containers of M&M's. I NEVER EVER have candy in the house, so when he sees this thing sitting on the kitchen counter, he's going to dive right in. Thing is, I've removed the M&M's and replaced them with a dead mouse. Ok, so I know this is really mean and demented...but I figure the kid will be in therapy because of me when he grows up anyhow...might as well give him some REALLY good things to talk about!!!!!

[OHPossum]

a real live dead mouse is definitey sadistic for a 10 year old

real live is an oxymoron.

something like dog food might be funny?

[sarahkate]

1. Ha! I just remembered that Cory left me a "surprise" this morning. I came downstairs to find a suggestively place banana and two kiwis with a note that said "Look! I made you breakfast" :lol: He's such a dork.

2. I want to give someone a fake tattoo, with a Sharpie.

3. I hope my boobs don't get even bigger when I have babies in the future! I can barely find bras that fit me now. Eeek.

edited to say:

I wonder where Lilac got a dead mouse from?! :unsure:

[Lilac]

Ok, well MAYBE I'll do dogfood instead.

I think I get this slightly sadistic twist naturally, from my father. He was always pulling bad-humoured pranks on my sister and I.

Like the time she shot a deer (my sis and I were about 7), painted it's nose red and told us that he had shot Rudolph.


*edited to tell SarahKate that Blackdog caught it and killed it out by the barn awhile ago.

[OHPossum]

I'm scared of Lilac's dad.

I would love a fake sharpie tattoo.

i would like it to say Calpina in Nepali letters

[Lilac]

Lilac's Dad is actually pretty harmless. :lol:

It's HIS dad who was the terror, in a good sort of way. He was something else! He played electric guitar in Hank Williams Sr. band...raised Palominos...drove an old 1940 something truck up until the day he died (and he kept that bugger in tip top condition)...could play absolutely any musical instrument by ear....

But he never painted a deer's nose red.

[gwensmom]

You pregnant ladies who think your boobs are big now, just wait until your milk comes in.

I'm talking huge and rock hard.

My sister freaked out when she saw that!

[OHPossum]

i wonder if men on this list feel left out

hard boobs would be cool.

regardles of whether it was teh dad or grandad who played with HAnk, I love him now!

[sarahkate]

2. I will see what I can do about that Sharpie tattoo Hollis. :) But it will take a little figuring out... hmmm... :confused:

3. Maybe I should go into the business of giving lactating women Sharpie tattoos. Their boobs would be easy to tattoo since they would be all hard & stuff. Ya know?

I'm a nerd...yes I am.

[siafu]

once, when i was camping in the woods with a bunch of naked women, i got HEIDI tatooed on my boob in henna. i thought it was cooler than she did, i think.

i am already a D. i'm going to end up with Q boobs when i have a baby.

i have a lime green sports bra that i wear all the time.

[OHPossum]

All this talk of boobs, and all this time I am a shoulder adn back girl

Calpina means imagine, and it is the most beutiful word in Nepali letters

I think Theresa loves Heidi like I love kathryn.

[nymphette]

1: i love to come into n'ness nd have everyone all lovey dovey and happy!!! and nobody sick!!! :wub: i had such fun reading and ctching up on the posts today!!!

2: and all the talk about breasts is fun too.... ;)

3: i have a tattoo on my left breast... it's a rose and it isnt' henna... :P

[nymphette]

1: not everyone's breasts get bigger when they have babies....

2: my mom went from a C to an A after she had hers.... :(

3: course, i went from a C to a DD... and we won't even talk about my sister's 'girls'................... :o

[OHPossum]

i just ate a delicious dove dark chocolate mini egg

now I crave milk

i want a tattoo on my boob.

[nymphette]

1: i want to go camping with a bunch of naked women....

2: chris would want to come too, though, and that would be no fun....

3: he'd be staring at all the breasts.... :P

[OHPossum]

then chris should come and we should get to stare at his wiggly

wigglies do nothing for me

neither do boobs, really

[nymphette]

1: i just posted 3 posts about breasts... and i said a couple weeks ago that i never talk about 'em.... :P

2: i dreamed about curlita and alienspy, all pregnant and visiting me... i was getting worried that i was going to 'catch it' and get pregnant too!!!! :o

3: it really isn't contagious....

[siafu]

ummm...just so you know...you can't embosss with a heat gun on mylar. the mylar melts.

so far i can't emboss on regular paper yet either. how hard can it be. it just has to be super inky so it will hold the powder.

i might have to go to atlanta for five weeks. that's a long time.

[OHPossum]

when I read the emossing on mylar I was imagining an embossed boob tattoo

use pigment ink, or chalk ink, not dye ink which dries too quickly.

Atlanta is fun!

[sarahkate]

1. All this talk of boobs reminds me: When I was in high school my aunt and cousin from California were visiting us. I was standing there and my cousin (who was probably about 6 years old at the time) reached up and honked my boob and said "i love your booties" :unsure: Now my boyfriend calls her "the booties girl" anytime I mention her.

2. I am rather amazed at how comfortable some people are with their own bodies and being nude in front of other people. I'm not one of them. I am not in any way offended by nudity, I myself just don't like being nekkid.

3. I once had a teacher who had a third nipple (she said it was tiny though) in her armpit. She could actually squeeze milk out of it when she was nursing her children. Ewww.

[OHPossum]

thrid nipples are fairly common, says Dr K

milk out of your armpit is wacky

I am not exactly comfy with my body but clothes bug me

[siafu]

i am astonished by the third nipple story. the only other third nipple i know is in that james bond movie. and it was on a boy.

i said i would do dishes today.

i have jet songs running through my head all the time.

[nymphette]

1: everyone should be naked...

2: there'd be less sex crimes...

3: and less competition on who has the best mexx t-shirt or club monaco bunnyhug or OP shorts............

yes i am bitter about being the 'poor family' in high school.... ;) however i have a much more enriching life than those rich bimbo snot faces....

and really mature about dealing with my bitterness you can see... :rofl:

I'm surprised at how the boob talk has taken off. Julie, look what we started!

I'm almost done with my craft project, and I'm going to have a turkey reuben for dinner! Mmmm.

breasts breasts breasts :thewave:

I missed the last bus to go to the post office to get my mail. That's what I get for sleeping super late. I'll just have mor email tomorrow though right?

It seems that on birthdays and holidays I always start a tradition of some kind but when the holiday comes around the next year I forget what the tradition was. It's damn annoying. lol. I'll have to settle for my tradition to be making new traditions. :rolleyes:

1: i googled placenta brain and came up with this article, on my favorite about site- pregnancy/birth... http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/symptoms/a/p...centabrains.htm (http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/symptoms/a/placentabrains.htm)

2: i still suffer from it.... and i haven't been pg in about... 15 months.... ;)

3: and HONESTLY, i used be very intelligent and together.... now i can't seem to get it together!!!!

1: i loved being pregnant... i was at my healthiest and happiest when i was carrying my babies!!! :wub:

2: no matter what you hear about how bad childbirth is, it is more than worth it, every bit... every day of morning sickness, every hemmorhoid (SP?), every stab of sciatica, every bit of swelling!!!! :P i never had morning sickness or hemmorhoids, but the sciatica and swelling made up for it!!! :o

3: but dont' believe those women who say you wont' remember the pain of labor!!!! you will remember it well, i remember every single contraction!!! but i also know how worth it it was and that i would do it six times over for one more little baby!!!!!!

4: my sister says she'll have a baby for me, since we can't have more because of the UCD chance, but that would give me a baby, not the experience of having one.......

[OHPossum]

i think bluecrayon is so sweet

i feel like i need to go back to the Picture thread and put faces with Qers

i want to squeeze harrison!

[AlienSpy]

1. I'm hungry but I have to wait for my boyfriend to get home from work before we can have dinner because he has to stop by the grocery store. He should be here before 6.

2. Interesting article, Robyn... I've been forgetting things and doing a lot of weird things lately! I put the bag of carrots in the freezer the other day, oops!

3. Did I mention how hungry I was?

[bluecrayon]

Aw, for me it was 3 months of sickness and almost 4 months of having to stay in bed -- which was hard.

I did like how my breasts looked

I do like motherhood, but I also like disappearing from it, too.



and I still don't feel like a grown up.

1: awww... i'm sorry, that would have been hell blue!!!!! :( i was put on 'sedentary rest' (not quite bed rest, but i coldn't do ANYTHING!!!!) for two months with julian becus ei had some spotting... and my BP was horrible with that pregnncy, i ended up being 200/150 before they induced me.....

2: they say that induced labor is worse than natural labor... i was induced with julian, had the gel twice and was put on pitocin... and it was bad....

3: with harrison, my water broke and within ten minutes the contractions were coming hard and fast and i didn't think i was a: going to make it to the hospital before having him, and b: going to live through it!!!!! :o

4: i have one big word of advice for you pg ladies- e-p-i-d-u-r-a-l!!!! really.... i wanted julian naturally, but couldn't because of all the problems i had with my BP and protein in my urine, swelling (pre eclampsia) and gave up and said yes to the epidural because i was already hooked up and hooked in to a million things.... there was NO WAY i was having harrison without the epidural!!! when i got to the hospital i told the lady at the registration desk 'you call up there and you tell them to get that epidural lady there NOW!!!' i think my head spun around but i can't be sure.... :P

[OHPossum]

1 once again i have spent the whole afternoon playing here

2 my boss is so stressedout she hasn't come out of her office once to notice what I am doing

3 I feel like a teenager hiding my pot.

[AlienSpy]

1. Baby socks are so cute!

2. I hate dust. And I'm allergic to it.

3. Is it 6 yet?

[AlienSpy]

1. An old man just called to talk to my grandfather... I felt so bad telling him that my grandpa died over 2 years ago! :(

2. My handwriting looks weird today.

3. I'm nervous but I don't know why.

[Curlita]

I haven't read the placenta brain article yet, but I'm definitely spacier than usual. I often walk into a room and then forget why I'm there and have to stand there for a minute.

Possum, have you thought about Strattera? I don't know anything about how it impacts fetuses, but I've heard of it for adult ADD.

I am waiting to be hungry enough to go order my reuben for dinner. It is only 3:30, so I need to wait at least another hour.

Bonus: I am done with my arts & craft project! I'm officially ready for the event tonight!

[gwensmom]

I got a mind-blowing RAOK shrine from Siafu!

You can see it on this thread (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6439&st=90&#entry195930).

I know you wish you had one too!

[Lilac]

You're right, Gwensmom...it's gorgeous and I'm jealous! *pout*

I pulled off the M&M April fools trick on my son. I left out the dead mouse and put chopped radishes in the M&M container instead. He was not pleased. He said that he would rather of had the dead mouse so that he could throw it at me...and then he demanded to know where the M&M's were.

I'm sad because tomorrows Friday...and I have go to the office all next week instead of working from home. :(

[bluecrayon]

I already knew siafu was wonderful -- this Raok to gwensmom just underscores how wonderful she really is! :)

Gwensmom is wonderful, too, though, and deserves such a beautiful piece of mailart ...

And where is Freckledcutie these days????


are these facts? Well, 2 of them are!

[zastronaut]

1. This is my first post here and I hope I'm doing it right
2. I obsessively eat grapefruit
3. I can pinch harder with my toes than with my fingers

That's the beauty of this thread... anything random is right.

I went to the deli to get my reuben at 4. I realized while I was standing there that I was STARVING. My mouth started watering.

A big thank you to Possum for inspiring this reuben-craving lust for sauerkraut.

Bonus: I wonder how my husband would feel about naming the baby Reuben? Hmmm.

[siafu]

:D that butterfly by mrs. mary's head is one i wore on my lapel when i got married. i wore butterfly stickers from ibbidy boo as my 'somethhing new'

i just took a nap for an hour. now i'm going to go wash dishes and make macaroni and cheese.

my junk job came through. now i'll be working next week for like $7.10 an hour, at least until everything else comes into place.

[gwensmom]

The Phrennie nominations are in and they didn't use any of my write ins!

So I'll post them here instead:

Most :ph34r: : Ben
Best Forum conversationalists: OHpossum and Dunglas
Wickedest sense of humor: Lilac
Most spelling challenged: Nymphette
Best Oligarch: Penster
Oustanding adjective stringing: JennyFactory

Voting for the Phrennies is going to be very difficult!

[siafu]

i think gwensmom's categories are great

i had all orange food for dinner.

my ride to the doctor got moved to earlier instead of later. i'm going to be an hour and a half early. id better find a book to read.

2. It really bothers me when you send people a Q&A on the main site, and they don't seem to be answering so you go look at their page and see that they have answered a question AFTER yours but skipped yours. Grrr. And all I was doing was being nice and asking someone if they wanted some Fbs/Deco's. All they needed to say was YES or NO. :angry:

1. I had to log on to the forums at almost 11:00 PM because I had to publically announce that I'm a jerk. I shouldn't have been so angry about the above quoted situation because I just checked my email to discover that the person I was miffed with actually emailed me late last night rather than answering the Q on the page. Doy! I should really get all the facts straight before I open my mouth (or type in this case).

2. gwensmom's write ins are great! I only included one write in that I recall and that was "most frequently changed forum avatar" going to none other than cdonley!! :lol: Though, lately she has had the same one up there, but for a while it seemed like she had a new spiffy avatar every other day! :P

3. I decided in December that I didn't want to eat ground beef anymore, so I haven't had any since then. So tonight I tried a Boca Burger and it was pretty good! I have had GardenBurgers before and I didn't like those so much but the Boca Burgers I had were actually very similar to a regular hamburger. Yay! Something new for me to eat.

Edited to say: Gwensmom - maybe they didn't use the write ins because there really wouldn't be anything to vote for since you are probably the only one who came up with those specific categories, so they will probably just include them in the final results, since whatever you write in will definitley "win" since it has no competition, ya know? :)

I would have Paul on that phrennie list for being the most generous nervouser-- the amount of work he has done to fashion these shows for us has been phenomenal

I would have the Eve/Reed love thing on there as most wonderful nervousness moment...

I would have Tom on there for having been the heart and soul of Q&Qs for a very long time, indeed...

[hammerquill]

I would have the Eve/Reed love thing on there as most wonderful nervousness moment...

I'd second that, but I'm biased.

There's still some date bread left.

Being fascinated by history and language, I'm having fun collecting phrases that crop up on the net that would have sounded like purest arrant nonsense a short time ago. Today's best on the forums: "Click on the kittens folder" and "i googled placenta brain".

- I'll third it, but I'm probably biased too. ;)

- I'm considering getting myself a bread pan, and wondering whether it would fit in my teeny-tiny counter-top oven.

- I miss having a real kitchen a whole lot more than usual since coming back.

[moonweaver]

I had a lovely day today:

I got paid for a wall piece of mine that sold in a shop.

My husband took me for a long ride on this beautiful cool day (I live in FL), looking for Gold trees in bloom, and we stopped at a waterfront cafe and had a mid-afternoon snack.

My older son called, and I hadn't heard from him in almost a month.

[siafu]

hammerquill, yesterday i used a little website that had you draw a glyph. then it would turn the glyph into an entire alphabet and a downloadable truetype font. lemme see if i can see it. it reminded me of you.

here it is...

The Alphabet Synthesis Machine (http://alphabet.tmema.org/)

i also used an icon generator.

Click here to see my new icon. (http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tisoto/detail?.dir=/a8c0&.dnm=910e.jpg)

this is what i made. i would love it if all my friends put it on their websites.

i have like ten more minutes worth of dishes.

[Bugitha]

1. I feel happy today. Not Fourth of July or first-kiss happy. Just every-day happy.

2. If I had read Wicked a year ago, I would have named my kitty Turtle Heart.

3. I have not flipped my calendar to April yet.

[Cuilanië]

- T, thanks for the link! It's great. :) I like the impact of your icon, too.

- I've been awake (more or less) for nine hours now. By rights, it ought to be suppertime, and it's still only nine am. :wacko:

- I'm happy, too. Love will do that to a person. :wub:

<tye-poe> :rolleyes:

[bluecrayon]

just back from walking all around the mission and noe valley -- summer felt close to me as I wandered around thinking thoughts of conclusion...

I called him from a payphone to hear his voice...

but he was in the middle of something and that made me feel disconnected...

and so I spun myself into my blueness which I now shall curl with into my bed.

[chunkymonkey]

My favorite thing to do lately is tap my nails against stuff. I stopped biting a few weeks ago and I actually have a little piece of nail peaking over my finger. lol before they looked like little stubs.

I got flowers today :wub:

I called him from a payphone to hear his voice... That is the best thing I have heard all day. So simple. So full of love.

[littlest-bee]

. I've been out exploring this morning - I'm still loving this city

.. I'm finding it very different from how I expected to live with someone I love

... I have lived with a boyfriend before but this is a whole new level of seriousness and commitment by comparison

[OHPossum]

i played with the alphabet generator

hammerquill and curlita's alphabets were there!

everyone is in love!

[Lilac]

I don't think I'm in love, OHpossum. :( I think I WAS...but something has happened that is draining it all away, fast.

I can't even explain what that "something" is. It's happening in my head.

I don't think I'm MEANT to be in love, ever.

[Dalmaney]

1. My c0ffee is weak b/c I didn't level the grounds right before I hit go.

2. My brain is tired b/c I'm far too bad at kicking the Boy out.

3. My conscience is guilty, so I'm awake and going to class on 5 hours of sleep. Only skipping class makes me feel guilty like this.

Aw, Lilac! :(

the head often sabotages the heart... sometimes you have to not think so much!

Look at something else for awhile that matters, then move your heart back again...

and never say never.....

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm trying to worry less about the future and live more in the moment.

2. I had some good moment-livin' last night.

3. Enough good moments to let me live in the past until I see 'im again.

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm actually at school right now, but I'm way too late for first class to bother going, and so I have to wait for second class.

2. I'm wearing sandles for the first time today. The projected high is +11*C, but mostly I was tired of socks.

3. I want a nap. It's 9 am, and I want a nap. Why did I fall for a night owl?

[Dalmaney]

1. The Boy informed me last night that he has "the world's cutest dimples". His co-workers at BK informed him of this when he was 16.

2. I should really bring the pic I have of us from the formal and scan it and post it... maybe someday I'll remember.

3. I almost had my concentration back before last night... I'm going to need to get it back before finals in ten days... and he needs his more than I need mine if he's to pass his classes.

[Dalmaney]

1. I don't ususally serial post here, but I'm a little loopy off endorphins and lack of sleep.

2. I am a living contradiction.

3. I think it's time to wander off, hole punch my notes, and wait patiently for my class to start. I don't like this class... stupid no text class with no website. Bah.

3 1/2. I'm still smiling, despite the looming next class.

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm not quite ready to leave yet.

2. In the next 30 days, I need to acquire a place to live and a car.

3. Those aren't the things that scare me right now.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. my earth month dailies posts are driving me nuts (but in a good way)

2. it's just that so many things are interrelated, so it's hard to decide where to STOP every day.

3. today's post is up (hot topics section).

[thunderstorm_19]

1 no one has posted in here for 2 hours

2 dad's gone till monday night

3 apparently my sister's coming 'home to visit' today

1. Wow. That's just wrong! This thread is too cool to go unbumped for so long! :(

2. I am super extra busy today at work because once again my coworker called in sick so I have to do all of her work. Grrrr.

3. Well, I don't really have anything to say at the moment. I just wanted to share with Alison my sadness that this thread has been so lonely today!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I just logged myself out and logged back in without being an anonymous user. I don't know why I was hiding, anyway. But I don't want gwensmom to always think that the anonymous users are me anymore!

-2- I got my special edition Freaks & Geeks DVD set in the mail on Monday. It's so awesome. Chris and I are so excited about having all 18 episodes with no commercials and with wonderful picture-quality and sound.

-3- My friends' kitty-cat has diabetes and now he has to get an insulin shot every day. Before he got diagnosed, he was wandering from water-dish to water-dish and meowing a lot because his thirst would not get quenched no matter how much he drank. Also, he drank so much that he was peeing on the furniture. I think that is so sad, and I am glad the insulin is making him feel better.

[Dalmaney]

1. We are almost done my lab write up and then I can go home if I want to.

2. I want to go home... but I want to swing thru the lounge and see if the Boy is there, and possibly stick around for Bible study in half an hour.

3. I still need a nap.

[Curlita]

I'm glad to see GWLS here.

I am finally done with Volunteer Awards Night! Now I need to clean off my desk, take down an exhibit, and get ready for my new admin assistant who starts next week.

I am wearing my kicky new capri pants today.

Thanks, Curlita! I am glad to be here.

-1- I am getting really good at copy-cataloging.

-2- My new boss starts on Monday.

-3- My brother and sister-in-law came back from their honeymoon in Hawaii yesterday but I haven't heard from them yet.

[siafu]

i went to the doctor early this morning so the doctor could confirm to the bar that i am indeed handicapped. when i announced myself to the receptionist, she said, you're not on the appointment list. are you here as a colleague? that was so respectful and so full of no assumptions that i was honored enough for the rest of my life. whenever someone assumes that i am not able, i will remember that respectful lady and i will be encouraged.

i am making progress on my art doll. i have decided to make the skeleton out of wire. but i have no wire. i may try twist ties, but i don't know how they will bake.

i had starbucks today. there was a bagel but it was a hawaiian bread bagel. i think i would like to try making it at home.

[bluecrayon]

shards of reality pinging my mind today.

somehow I know my feet remember how to move...

and the door is still where it's always been, so I'm thinking I'm about to reach it.

but then what????

[Curlita]

Theresa's post makes me think about how the internet is in some ways the great equalizer... we can all talk and learn from each other, judgement free. It's sad that you've come to expect other people's reduced expectations of you... I'm glad that you had a positive thing happen today, though!

I just finished doing all my husband's birthday shopping from the computer. It took about 10 minutes. Whoo hoo!

I bought another turkey reuben for lunch today. Seriously considering naming the baby Reuben.

[nymphette]

1: no games for me today...

2: but i had to catch up on here!!!

3: hello GWLS!!!! we miss you!!!

[bluecrayon]

I am here for therapy today and it helps to read everyone's comments...

I am locked in a place where I can't talk to anyone in my "real" world about my very private world...

but here I can run around naked and not have fear about it!

[Lilac]

I bought my son an adorable mini rex bunny for easter. She's soooo cute...all black with fuzzy grey paws and a white diamond shape on her nose.

My dogs are going insane because of this new addition to the household.

My son has named her "Carrot"....I was hoping for something a little more imaginative...but I guess Carrot is okay.

[OHPossum]

1-I feel guilty that Curly is eating Reubens
2- I agree w/ Curly re: Siafu's post re: disabilities
3- but I am still really bad at assuming. I always assume everyone online is a white lesbian in her early 30's who has anxiety and AD/HD and wants kids and loves books and cowgirls. Until told otherwise.

and I assume everyone here is together and happy and spinning through life like dervishes -- and wildly in love, and more interesting than I will ever be -- until told otherwise -- which is where 3 random facts comes in.

Living in San Francisco for as long as I have, I never assume anything about anyone's gender or sexual preference.

I'm a little more foggy about age, though -- I think everyone is 19! :D

[OHPossum]

1- I assume everyone is fighting demons all the time

2- I assume most people are just better than others about hiding that fact

3- I want to have a spring fling at our house but I am afraid no one would come (besides you guys!)

[bluecrayon]

okay, I'm disengaging now from my therapy session

I have to go teach my art class

wish me well, everyone -- I don't want to go back to the floor.

Why are you feeling guilty about my reubens? I'm not feeling guilty about my reubens. I am enjoying my reubens. They are tasty and the baby wants the sauerkraut. He told me. Please, revel in my reubens.

I think that assuming everyone here is pretty much like you is better than assuming that everyone here is so different from you that you cannot relate. Know what I mean? Since we meet and greet in cyberspace, we don't judge each other by appearance, clothing, social circle, car, who we are standing next to, the house we live in, etc. So your assumption that everyone is pretty much like you and that you have commonalities seems pretty harmless.

Suspect that what I'm saying makes no sense to anyone but me. Going to read the article on placenta brain.

[siafu]

i just had to email someone to say that i am not taking their four hour a week job because i'm taking a full time job.

i feel a little guilty and skeezed because my timing wasn't so good. but i just found out for sure yesterday.

what's the worst she can say? you'll never work in this town again?! her town has a classism problem that gives me the heeby jeebies anyway.

[OHPossum]

1- I feel guilty because I can't imagine it's good for Jr. (heartburn or something? what do I know)

2- I assume everyone is exaclty like me because otherwise I get way too insecure that they will reject me

3- I am still the most self loathing homophobe in the world on some days.

[Curlita]

1. Rest easy, Possum. So far no heartburn. It's just bread, cheese, turkey, mustard, kraut and some 1,000 island. Lotsa protein (good for Jr), not as much sodium cause I don't get corned beef, calcium in the swiss cheese, and vitamin C and fiber in the kraut. And let me tell you, fiber is a gal's best friend when you are pregnant.

2. Getting started at n-ness was nervewracking (har har, unintended pun) because the process at that time was "get to know people, get them to like you, get them to invite you to join the secret club.
